Description
Based on a thesis involving extensive fieldwork in regions bordering the Incas in southern highland Peru. The aim was to study the spatial organisation of late prehistoric Quichua society and the changes which occurred in one of the first areas to be affected by Inca expansion. The research included the first systematic recording of sites in the area, concentrating on surface archaeology rather than excavations. Early documents are also used to examine the interaction between the Inca state and the local people, including transcriptions of previously unpublished documents. The study includes an anlysis of the sacred geography of Inca mountain summit sites.
